Wow. My dream is to someday make a nodachi. I think it's a rather under appreciated blade, though I can understand why. I mean, look at the size of that. To be able to wield one well would be a serious undertaking.

My name is Michael. 20 years old, from Vancouver (not BC) Washington (not DC). I'm currently working on becoming a merchant mariner and was looking into bladesmithing as a hobby and possible second paycheck on the months off. I've been studying books and looking on the internet, but since I currently live in a townhouse with my parents using a cutting torch, anvil, and forge is out of the question. I've decided to start by making wood blades, and bought a jigsaw and some files and rasps. Process should be similar to stock removal blades, and the wood working experience should come in handy for handle making. Plan on attending a forging class sometime in the near future.

How does he cut or shape the steel without a cutter or heat? I've filed copper plates before so I can kind of see how he could with a mass amount of patience, but to file a rectangle into a knife shape would be impractical. What was their name? I'd like to find out more if I could.
